Grief counselors will be available at both schools for as long as necessary, district officials said Monday.

"Our thoughts are with the driver and three passengers involved in Friday's car accident and with their family and friends," West Haven Schools Superintendent Neil Cavallaro said. "Our hearts go out to them during this difficult time, and we want to help in any way that we can."

The accident was reported at about 4 p.m. Saturday on a narrow, winding stretch of road near the Milford city line. Police from Orange and Milford closed roads for about a half-mile in each direction for several hours after the crash as they investigated.

Police working to determine the cause of the crash and are asking anyone who witnessed the accident or who has any other information to contact Officer Brian Foote at 203-891-2130.
